Dezember 2015 DOI: 10.25360/01-2015-00008 Diesen Artikel zitieren: Christian Cercel, The 1991 Reburial of Frederick the Great and Its Potential Meanings, in: Friedrich300 - Studien und Vorträge #9, 15/12/2015, 10.25360/01-2015-00008 . Friedrich300 - Studien und Vorträge Cristian Cercel The 1991 Reburial of Frederick the Great and Its Potential Meanings Abstract I begin the present paper by providing an overview of the afterlife of Frederick the Great's earthly remains. I then continue by presenting the mise-en-scène of Frederick's last (until now?) reburial, together with the conflicts and debates surrounding this event. Subsequently, I elaborate on the main conceptual frameworks dealing with dead body politics and thus seeming at first glance suitable for explaining the sinuous afterlife of the royal corpse of Frederick. Directly connected with this attempt at theoretical clarification, I comment upon the extent to which these frameworks furnish the appropriate instruments to make sense of the fate of Frederick the Great's dead body and of the reinterment that took place on 17 August 1991, in Potsdam. At the same time, I also aim to explicitly show how the 1991 reinterment of Frederick the Great, and that of his father, Frederick William I, differs to a large extent from apparently similar or akin events. Introduction <1> Frederick the Great (1712-1786; king of Prussia: 1740-1786) is broadly acknowledged as one of the main figures of German history, occupying a central place within Germany's catalogue of historical personalities.

    The 1939 Royal Tour and the Royal Hudson Locomotive No. 2850

    The 1939 Royal Tour and the Royal Hudson Locomotive No. 2850 This visit made history for the entire country. For the first time, the British monarch set foot on Canadian soil. He crossed the country from coast to coast, most of it aboard a train specially put together for the occasion. The two major Canadian railways, Canadian Pacific and Canadian National, will share the honour of pulling the royal train with their locomotives. The trip was a suggestion made by Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Governor General Vincent Massey at the coronation of King George VI in London in 1937. The choice of train travel gives as many Canadians as possible the chance to see the King and Queen. It is also an excuse to seek the support of Canada and the United States in the face of the threat of war with Germany. Queen Elizabeth and King George VI, Photo Finlay Colour, CRHA/Exporail, Canadian Railway Historical Association Fonds The Royal couple left Portsmouth, England on May 6, 1939, aboard the Canadian Pacific ship Empress of Australia. The Atlantic crossing took nine days. They arrived in Quebec City two days later than planned because of bad conditions: thick fog, huge waves and icebergs. To make up for lost time, the couple spent less time in Ottawa and Kingston because the itinerary was very tight. The trip lasts 29 days in America, not including the boat trip across the Atlantic Ocean. They left Halifax on June 15, 1939, and returned to England. Arrival of the royal couple in Quebec City aboard the "Empress of Australia", CRHA/Exporail, Canadian Pacific Railway Company Fonds King George VI (1895-1952) and his wife Queen Elizabeth (1900-2002) visited the country while their two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth (1926- ___) 13 and Margaret (1930-2002) 8, stayed in England.
